Abstract (CPANDA): Since the 1970 decennial census, the National Endowment for the Arts has extracted census public use microdata samples (PUMS) relevant to research about artist occupations into Artist Extract Files. The files contain records of all persons in households with one or more persons having a detailed occupation code considered "artist" by the NEA. These occupations include: actors and directors; announcers; architects; authors; dancers; designers; musicians and composers; painters, sculptors, craft-artists, and artist printmakers; photographers; teachers of art, drama, and music in higher education; and artists, performers, and related workers not elsewhere classified.
